5 Reasons Your Health Regimen Should Include CBD

As research continues to flood our world with benefits of CBD, some studies reveal it can be helpful for nearly everyone! It’s not just for those suffering from seizures/epilepsy, cancer, Alzheimer’s Disease, or other serious life conditions, but can also be used by people as a daily supplement. Here are five reasons why you should implement CBD as a daily supplement in your life.

Sleep Regulation

There are many studies such as this one that show how CBD can help with sleep regulation. The study shows that CBD may help with REM sleep, which plays an integral role in maintaining physical health. CBD works with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), which is responsible for maintaining homeostasis in the body. Stress is one of the main reasons people don’t sleep as well as they’d like to, and CBD has also been shown to reduce anxiety and stress.

Energy

Although this may seem to contradict the ways that CBD could help sleep regulation, it is biphasic in terms of sleep. Biphasic means that low doses will often wake people up and create more energy, and high doses will help put someone to sleep. This study shows that rats experienced increased wakefulness and decreased rapid eye movement during the lights-on period of the study.

Libido

That’s right, CBD and other cannabinoids can sometimes be used to increase a person’s libido. This study from the National Institutes of Health explains that:

“The influence of cannabis intake on sexual behavior and arousability appear to be dose-dependent in both men and women, although women are far more consistent in reporting facilitatory effects. Furthermore, evidence from nonhuman species indicate somewhat more beneficial than debilitating effects of cannabinoids on female sexual proceptivity and receptivity.”

So, if someone you know is suffering from suppressed, or minimal libido, it may be worth giving CBD a try.

Supports Healthy Energy and Stamina

For those suffering from a long night, waking up feeling nauseated, or waking up vomiting, CBD may be your answer! As this study shows, CBD helps regulate nausea and vomiting through the Endocannabinoid System (ECS). Additionally, CBD has been found to help protect the liver and kidneys from damage caused by alcohol. In short, it prevents the accumulation of fats and lipids in the liver that lead to medical conditions like cirrhosis.

Promotes Mental Clarity, Focus, and Memory

There are a lot of studies showing how CBD can help with anxiety, but this study shows that CBD may help the brain grow new cells. These cells were grown in the regions of the brain that promote memory and learning, a process known as hippocampal neurogenesis.

Whether you, or someone you know suffers from a difficult health condition, or everyday issues like focus, stamina, long nights out with friends, libido, lack of energy or insomnia, it appears nearly everyone can benefit from daily supplements of CBD.
